Chapter 300 You Have to Be Patient (24)

In fact, it is relatively normal for an actress to sleep with a producer!

The Chinese film and television industry is a typical one with more wolves and less meat, fewer performance opportunities and a lot of actors.

Excluding the star effect and just looking at the actor's compatibility, you can basically find five or six suitable actors for the same role at the audition stage. Within this range, whoever you choose is almost the same, so who should you choose?

Choose whoever sleeps with me! It doesn’t affect the drama, and free cannons are also played!

You can’t ruin the show for free cannons…

If you think too much, you may overestimate the influence of actors!

It's just a small supporting role, how much impact can it have?

In Hollywood, it's not called hidden rules, it's called rules of the game.

There are many actors with artistic talents, so why would so many people choose you?

Did you bring investment? Have you established a relationship with the issuer?

Excellent acting skills?

hehe…

The meaning of unspoken rules is an abnormal method adopted when your ability cannot support the height you want to achieve.

In any circle, when there is no quantitative standard, many such trading phenomena will naturally occur...

Of course, Shen Xudong didn't think what he was doing was called unspoken rules. At most, it was an artistic attraction.

What are unspoken rules?

For example, ask an actress to have supper or go singing...

But in Tang Yan's view, it's different!

Although I don’t know who it is, it’s definitely an actress from the crew…

I didn't sleep well the whole night and went downstairs the next day with dark circles under my eyes.

…

The main story of "The Ultimate Servant" is divided into four chapters: Jinling Chapter, Capital City Chapter, Desert Chapter and the Ending Chapter...

It was originally planned to cover four major chapters in 40 episodes.

Later, when I was writing the script, I found that I couldn't reduce it no matter what, so I just filmed the Jinling chapter and the Capital chapter...

According to Shen Xudong: The worst possible outcome is a second season!

Xu Zheng has no objection. "Li Wei is an Official" has been filmed for three seasons!

Besides, there’s nothing to worry about yet!

Shen Xudong is very suitable to be a producer...

What is the job of a producer?

The so-called production, as the name suggests, is to make videos!

The most important thing is the ability to organize the game.

Specifically: attract investment, find a director, find actors, be responsible for the distribution of the work...

As for whether the filming stage is there or not, it actually doesn't matter. For a work, the most important thing is to complete it first, and then the rest.

The crew of "The Great Butler" has been filming for a month. Without him as the producer, everyone's completion was not bad. Therefore, after joining the crew, he... had no intention of taking care of the filming at all, and everything was as usual...

It's not that he doesn't do anything at all. He also has to accept some media interviews to promote "The Great Butler".

Well, the media asked more about "Party A and Party B 2"...

After all, the box office of "Party A and Party B 2" with 145 million exceeded that of "House of Flying Daggers", temporarily ranking first in the year!

…

"Xudong, we asked Zhang Weiping. He said that the overseas box office of "Party A and Party B 2" was very dismal and the revenue was not as good as that of "House of Flying Daggers". Is this true?"

Shen Xudong immediately asked: "...Didn't he say that "House of Flying Daggers" cost 290 million? I'm too lazy to answer questions about him. I don't know any common sense!"

"Then...the overseas copyright of "Party A and Party B 2"?"

"I don't know. I just know that we are planning to go to the Berlin Film Festival in a while. We should be able to sell some adaptation rights. The adaptation rights of "Outstanding Citizen" alone were sold for nearly 3 million US dollars!"

"Have you been shortlisted for the main competition?"

"No, we will invite several film producers to take a look at the trailer of "Party A and Party B 2"... I think they will be interested!"

Then I asked about the situation of "Kung Fu". After finally dealing with it, I went to "The Ultimate Butler"...

"It's "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" + "The Deer and the Cauldron"... We initially wanted to write a different type from previous costume dramas. The first thing we decided on was a time-travel type... But we all have a sense of awe for history, so we simply used the Song Dynasty as the prototype Created a dynasty called Wei!"

"Our chief screenwriter Liao Gaoxiang is a die-hard fan of Stephen Chow, and especially likes "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", so we might as well set the servant as the starting point..."

"Why don't you continue doing martial arts?"

"After "The World's No. 1", I have temporarily lost interest in original martial arts... and I don't have any good ideas!"

"You are also the screenwriter of "The Condor"!"

"...That's a job that I just accepted...and the screenwriter of "The Condor" basically followed the original work, and there was little room for development..."

"What are your work arrangements after that? I heard that you are adapting Gu Long's works?"

"...Yes, yes..." Shen Xudong remembered, and then said: "Actually, Ciwen asked us to adapt "The Two Prides" at first. Later, director Wang Jing joined. His idea was too...creative, so we withdrew. It was a pity at the time. After all, we adapted Jin Yong, and we really wanted to try adapting Gu Long’s works... It happened that China Television had won the copyright of several Gu Long’s works..."

"Which ones?"

""The Big Shot", "The Swordsman", "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Happy Heroes"... I personally like "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Happy Heroes" the most... No surprise, I should take over these two movies An adaptation of the work.”

"Wish you good luck!"

"Thanks…"

…

After the interview, Shen Xudong returned to the crew lounge and met Liao Gaoxiang. He must have just finished using the toilet and was holding a newspaper in his hand...

Seeing Shen Xudong, Liao Gaoxiang said casually: "Is the interview over?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong nodded: "However, I heard that this is only the first batch, and there should be several more batches after that, and even TV stations will come..."

Liao Gaoxiang's expression remained unchanged: "You have such a good attitude, I can't stand these reporters!"

"What's wrong?"

Liao Gaoxiang spread his hands: "Always asking the same questions...I sometimes wonder if these media have done their homework. If they really want to interview, why not look at the previous information..."

"Entertainment reporters have a three-part interview set. They either ask about emotional issues such as gossip and romance scandals, or ask about feelings about cooperation. They like to look for gimmicks and are not surprised... When it comes to specific works, they don't know how to ask questions, so Chen Teacher Daoming doesn’t want to see Yu Ji... He thinks they are uneducated and can’t even ask questions!”

Liao Gaoxiang nodded thoughtfully...

Shen Xudong took a look and hurriedly said: "...But it has to be at the level of Director Chen. We are just novices, so we must not be impatient!"

Liao Gaoxiang sighed: "It's so difficult. Sometimes when I hear stupid questions, it's hard to control my emotions!"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "...Journalist interviews are also a form of publicity...Since you think he is a fool, then be patient..."

"patience?"

Liao Gaoxiang handed over the newspaper he was reading: "Like this?"

"What?"

Taking the newspaper, Shen Xudong saw the title - "Arrogance or Ignorance - Shen Xudong, the screenwriter of "Party A and Party B 2"..."

Um?

Shen Xudong quickly took a look...

Well, that reporter Zhang was scolded by Shen Xudong, and then he wrote thousands of words to criticize Shen Xudong's views on commercial and literary films.

Quoting his original words: "Commercial films and literary films should be "distinct". One is for fame and the other is for profit. No one is noble and no one is inferior. It's just that they pursue different directions..."

Then he criticized from a high position that "a good movie should be both artistic and commercial"...

Conclusion: ‘Shen Xudong is arrogant and ignorant about movies’…

Liao Gaoxiang smirked: "What? Are you impatient with him?"

Shen Xudong curled his lips: "He is an idiot... Never argue with an idiot. They are not in the same dimension at all... What kind of newspaper is this?"

"The Beijing News!"

"I see…"

Something happened, I owe two chapters...I'll try to make up for it next week!
